Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 360 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 as needed for coloring food coloring
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture and beat until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing them in increments to form a smooth dough. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough into two portions, flatten each into a disk, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to make the dough easier to handle.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out one portion of the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, for a thinner consistency if needed.
Divide the icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring as desired. Transfer the icing to piping bags for decorating.
Pipe the icing onto the cooled cookies, creating designs to your liking. Let the icing set for several hours to harden before serving.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
